Before I ever install a distro I research it to make sure im not wasting my time. Everyones ultimate goal when distro shopping is something light, good looking, user friendly, usually its best to have something with some kind of community and something you like the feel of!
For a long time i didnt think about steering away from gnome, and I didnt like kde cause normally it was more ugly but when i saw kde distros they looked more complete and I just liked the feel. I tried mandriva and it was a lot faster than ubuntu and I like it a lot. I looked at other distros like it and the top distros that I find that were very similiar were mandriva openSUSE linux mint I think i have decided those are my favorite three kde distros and Ive been liking kde better then gnome so my favorite distro is... Linux mint! I like the look and feel and its fast and comes with codecs(doesnt really matter) preinstalled and even though in the end many distros are so similiar I just decided I it was my favorite! I understand if you say "tldr". Just tell me your current favorite distro. |

The least? lol... Uh ubuntu/kubuntu... That's why the latest versions (8.10) are a bit heavier, because the Linux community is getting lazier.
Just get used to scripts... back in the day I used to compile my own applications and my own drivers. Lazy people are killing the core of Linux with their laziness  |

But yes. What would be the best linux distro for the laziest person. And what would be closest to a os that you pay for. like windows. Im not saying I want to duplicate it I just want something that ia more filled with features that save time like windows. |
